How to Help Protect Yourself

While there are many ways that Superior National Bank endeavors to monitor and stop fraud and identity theft, you are often the first person to notice that something is wrong. Here are a few tips on how to spot fraud and better safeguard your private information.

Create a password that is strong and secure. Create a password that only you would know. Avoid using easy to guess places, people, dates, and number/letter sequences. Also, do not write down your password or give it out to anyone for any reason. Superior National Bank will never ask you to provide your password by e-mail, text message, telephone or any method of communication.

Learn more about fraud and identity theft. If you are educated about the ways that fraudsters and thieves operate, you have a better chance of spotting and stopping the theft of your personal information. For more information on identity theft, click here.

Be aware of what gets put on social networking sites. These sites can be used by thieves to gather information that they can then piece together and use illegally. Always keep in mind that thieves look for photos, addresses, birthdates, phone numbers, family history and any identifying information to make it easier for them to make you their victim. The internet has become the virtual mall for thieves to "shop" for this information.

Check your credit report annually. This allows you to check that the report is accurate and report any suspicious or unauthorized credit applications.

Do not give out your personal information. Do not give out information such as your social security number, debit card number, address, PIN number, account number, or password. Verify who you are speaking with before ordering, donating, or banking by phone.

Remember that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. If you win a contest/lottery you never entered and you're asked to send money for 'fees' or 'taxes' before you receive your prize, report the request to Superior National Bank immediately. There is a very good chance this is a scam.

Don't open links in e-mails you never requested or find suspicious. These links sometimes allow for dangerous malware and computer viruses to be put onto your computer.
